This project involves researchers from disciplines across the University working to measure and analyse social cohesion within neighbourhoods and communities across Australia and develop and trial place-based interventions to improve cohesion.

James is the lead investigator on the Scanlon Foundation Research Institute's Mapping Social Cohesion study.

James was awarded a PhD in Demography in December 2019. This research focused on measuring and understanding the patterns, prevalence and dynamics of different housing types and homelessness.
